2014 Miles for Men Prostate Cancer Awareness Race

Monday, September 22, 2014

Since 2008, I've been the proud recipient of 3 biopsies! I will add here that all were benign. Because of this history, I've become keenly aware of prostate cancer and support awareness.
I also have a loving supportive family. So DSCESRETS (DW), LEC22041 (my Sis, Linnie), Gwen (DiL), and my Gianna, ALL did the race in support! This is the money shot!

My Tri-Partner, Rob and his wife, Jen (My run partner) came as well....

"Allo, I am Roberto! I will be your pre-run masseur!"

This is definitely a family event with kids races beforehand. Gianna was excited to do the kids sprint. D & I are always supportive of G's running!

Here's our girl crossing the 300 yd Dash finish line!

Gianna digs the bling like her Pops!

When the Kid's Sprints were done, the race began. Gianna was adamant that she would do the 5K as well as lead the parade!

Gianna's enthusiasm was obviously affecting Grandma D! Behind her is another friend of ours, Susan. She's a Beastmode Runner! For this run, we decided to all walk together!

I am truly blessed with my family and friends! Obviously, we took this run and turned into a fun family affair! For me, it was a celebration of life!

As always, thanks to all SparkFriends for taking the time to read my blog!

I know it's great having family and friends running with you and supporting you! Glad you're granddaughter is really getting into it. My grandson is getting into it and will be running the Marine Corp 5K in Jacksonville on the 4th, I believe. I'll ask him if he wants to do the Race for the Cure the next week. I did 1/2 mile today (walking) and need to try for more.1640 days ago
